LOL Ash...actually for a GTR you will have to beat 56.36 for the normal run and 63.64 for the Fig8 ;)

...and the gtr kept going after i turned...

John I thint that was me :blush: - not the first time there but a bit of a brain fade :)

I notice from the entry list that Danny T and gone back to a Rex....I know the Emo was giving him troubles but anyone know why?

From the paper today:

Last night authorities closed the Princes Freeway south of Morwell, about 150km east of Melbourne, after heavy rain sparked fears of a landslip close to the nearby Hazelwood coal mine.

I hope none of this rain has had an impact at HHills....will be interesting to hear about your experiences this weekend.

From vic roads: might be leaving a little early

Friday 11 February

12.00pm

Princes Freeway (Morwell Bypass), Morwell - Freeway closed in both directions at the Morwell exits due to the impact of recent rainfall and potential landslip.

Victoria Police and VicRoads have closed the Princes Freeway at Morwell in both directions.

East and westbound traffic is being diverted through the township of Morwell, via Princes Drive (Old Princes Highway). Most heavy vehicles (excluding Over Dimensional Vehicles) can use this diversion route.

View map of the diversion route

Motorists wishing to travel towards Melbourne from Morwell cannot access the Freeway from the following entry ramps:

* Tramway Road

* Monash Way

* Miners Way

The Strzelecki Highway entry ramp is also closed.

VicRoads advises drivers to expect delays and allow extra time to complete their journey.

Call the VicRoads Traffic Management Centre on 13 11 70 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) if you require further assistance.

The morwell bypass is basically built on the open cut mine, so that doesn't surprise me.

Shouldn't impact us, unless as Ant says, there is no HH anymore and its all slid away as well.

Yeah first year I did the turn off early as following another car.

Last year I took HH rd and much easier.

Weather looking better by the day, should be a great day.

hey martin, did you want to meet at westgate kfc about 6-6.30?

il be driving that way :)

john.

Even if I was unhappy with my times I was happy with the day.

For those of you who were there today and Paid members can you let me knwo what class you are in for the championship to save me chasing you up.

Usual Motosport day really

Froze in the more and I'm now burnt, oh well.

and the 8 car convoy home was kinda fun.

Sorting pics now!

Top day.

from 69.7 or so down to 64.8 i think...

Not super fast, but after a big off on my 2nd run, was a bit cautious.

driving a GTR is very different to my 31, good day, and much needed seat time.

Thanks to Dave in the rx7 for the loan of the pump, let a bit too much air out and hence big brown undiesoff :D

had a great time, thanks to all who organised this. ended up with a 64.60 which is 4 or 5 secs better than i did last year and the car is the same so was pretty happy with that. still alot more to learn about that track, i kept trying new things every run and still not sure where i should be on the track in some places. getting Mark in the 944 to be a passenger was very helpful, took about 1 sec off my time straight after that.

martin, i am in standard rwd but i think there should be an NA class ;)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
